Pre-Lit Fest 2022 Program: The Black Librarian in America: Reflections, Resistance, and Reawakening

The recently released book, The Black Librarian in America: Reflections, Resistance, and Reawakening is the latest in the powerful line of The Black Librarian in America series started by the pioneering Black Librarian, E.J. Josey, over fifty years ago. This newest volume—the first edition to be edited entirely by Black women librarians—explores multiple themes: from Black library history, to activism, to Afrofuturism. Join us for this program as the authors and editors explore the varied themes in The Black Librarian in America and the current state and future of Black Librarianship. A Reception will follow.

This event is part of the Schomburg Center Literary Festival: Reading the African Diaspora celebrates authors of African descent and champions literacy and books across genres to amplify Black history and culture.
